I have a 1.2 Energy 16V Corsa, and there is a loud tapping noise, I've heard that some Vauxhall engines do have tapping noises, i took it to the garage, some said the tappits, some said timing chain, however I have heard some Corsa's which are a bit louder, I bought for £1500, not sure if i will be able to sell it the way it is, the drive is completely fine and it always has more than enough oil..

all cars make this noise when you have decided you want a new one!

the cheaper option is to turn up the radio

Do you regularly rag the pants off it when it's stone cold?

If I buy it off you will you stop starting threads about it?
